What happened when KPS Gill, a ‘supercop’ slapped an IAS officer’s derrière, or bottom? For decades, sexual harassment was not seen as a crime and it took Rupen Bajaj Deol seventeen years of struggle to challenge this. But what did the court say? And why has social justice for the Other Backward Classes (OBC’s) differed from state to state and why is this contentious? This episode of The Longest Constitution tackles caste and gender hierarchy at the workplace.
